Apple gives a new meaning to solid state.

Maybe not but they should be, at least, repairable or servicable without it being cheaper to buy a new one. they are definitely cheaper to repair than buy a new one. whatever gave you the idea it isn't?? where do people come up with this ****? Come on, at least you should be able to replace a battery, especially at the price these products sell for. what for? the battery outlasts the computer and statistics show that fewer than 5% of laptop users buy replacement batteries anyway. the battery's lifetime is rated at 5 years. most people replace their computers by then, but for the few who don't, they can take it to an apple store to have the battery replaced, which is done while you wait, just as it is on phones. *one* battery swap in 5 years is hardly a big deal, assuming you'd want to keep using a 5 year old computer. meanwhile, during those 5 years, you have a lighter, thinner and more reliable laptop, something that benefits users every day. I mean, they are hardly disposable... or are they? If so, clever Apple for reeling in those with more money than sense. they're not disposable and they're not the only company who makes products with internal batteries either. when dell did it, not a peep. bunch of hypocrites. Still, Apple is Apple and there will always be the brand whores who will buy their products, whatever the cost and design. And, I suppose, that is Apple's strength. nonsense. other companies make similar design decisions, and the usual apple bashers completely ignore that. like i said, it's more of the same hypocritical bull****. Their business model relys on being cult status and having "brainwashed" their users over the years into believing their products are better than anything else, when really they are not. nonsense. nobody is brainwashed. more bull****. some of apple's products are clearly better and some aren't. more importantly, some are better suited to what someone wants to do, which is what matters, and what the bashers don't understand. it's not about specs. pick the best tool for the job. if something doesn't fit your needs buy something else that does. very simple. Good luck to them, I say, although the easily led will not fall for it forever. nobody is being led nor is anyone falling for anything. more idiocy. people make their own informed choices about what the best product for their needs is. that might not be the same product that fits your needs, and you just have to accept that. if anything, it's windows users who are easily led, as all they do is follow the herd, never considering alternatives that might be better suited to what they actually want to do. |
